DAY 3: COVID-19 BY MY LONESOME
DAY 3 Much better day today! Yay! Ironically, it's raining and gloomy outside. In fact, it was quite a productive day. After polishing off the leftover pizza for breakfast, I was fast at it on my computer getting things done. Our team even enjoyed a Teams butt-dial from our boss. While we all chatted, a coworker messaged him to apologize for not picking up the group call. To which he said, "didn't know I made the call!" It was nice to hear everyone's voices.

Excuses I make for not eating well
I`m too tired I am just sitting there, in bed, bindgewatching some series for hours and somehow I still feel incredibly tired. And then , when I sense that little tingle of hunger, and I think to myself that I should get up. I feel my legs getting heavy, my head sinks in the pillow and the neverending stream of tvshows invites me stay. I feel too tired to go to the fridge, too tired to go shopping, too tired to breathe sometimes.

My Days Thanks to COVID-19
So as we all know, COVID-19 is sweeping the globe right now. It's affected a lot of people, doesn't seem to show any sign of stopping, and it seems unknown as to when it'll be a normal time for humanity again. But what does this have to do with me? Well my life, just like everyone else's, has been affected by this pandemic. But all the information about everything is so mixed up. Areas that are on lockdown, how many people you can and can't be around, and tons of other information. It's enough to drive you crazy. Ya know what I mean? It's not hard to believe that the whole world is thrown out of whack by a disease that's likely been around for a long time now, but is just coming out now. I mean there have been other major diseases that have come out that weren't as bad as COVID-19 but still kinda serious enough to be bad should you contract it. But this is the worst it's been. And humanity's behavior to go with it hasn't gotten any better. Still a ton of hate crime, racial blame, etc. This isn't a time to be monsters to each other. This is a time we should come together...even though we're being told to self-quarantine and maintain social distancing too. But there are problems even in that.

Pandemonium
Pandemonium is kind of an interesting sounding word, but it’s one that has kind of an extreme meaning. You may have to agree though, that the world is kind of going crazy at the moment so this word may apply. COVID-19, also known as the Novel CoronaVirus, is a virus that has been in the wind for a few months now, but it seems that everything has escalated significantly within just the last few weeks.

(Realistic) Self-Care for Mental Health Workers
**Many of these tips are probably applicable to lots of other fields. However, I only have experience with mental health jobs, so that's why my focus is there. We all need to take care of ourselves!**

Musings on Coronavirus
One thing I find interesting about living through the Corona virus pandemic, and subsequent self-quarantine, is the way in which we find ways to communicate otherwise. With our modern technology we do a brilliant job of just getting on with most of our lives from sitting at home. Admittedly, I already miss going outside and meeting up with my friends in our flesh sacks, but the virtual alternative of group Skype calls isn’t something to sniff at.

The Global Impact Of Coronavirus
The global impact of Coronavirus is just so horrifying and absolutely unbelievable. But believe it one must, what with all the horrible things that are happening all over the world – and all because of this killer virus! Who would believe that a thing unseen, can now threaten to obliterate the entire world – down to the very last few thousand or hundred people perhaps? Time only will tell, as to how many of the mighty human race, will survive the killer Coronavirus!
